Say hello to Mr. BTS!

69 Don’t miss our Interview with Scott Nova, your 2014 Mr. BTS.

I am curious how you went from being a firefighter to a romance novel model?

Well, the two are intermingled, and the modeling came because of going to the fire academy. I used to be incredibly skinny. An almost unhealthy type of skinny. I ate a lot of food but not the right kind of food. In 2008 I discovered that I wanted to be a firefighter. I could never understand why I wasn’t happy with a cushy job behind a desk in the IT world…

Plus, this months’ columns keep you entertained and informed:

23 Chic Trends in Romance: A NIGHT OF ROMANCE AT LADY JANE’S SALON

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a romance fiction reading at one of Lady Jane’s satellite salons in Silver Spring, Maryland. If you haven’t heard of Lady Jane’s Salon®, you owe it to yourself to check it out…

55 The Hot Hunks of History: RICHARD THE LIONHEARTED

Very few kings were considered hot during their own lifetimes, but King Richard I of England was one of the few, the proud, and the studly during the romantic Middle Ages. His life was one of legend… a man who became Duke of Aquitaine in his own right as a teenager; he fought his father in battle to defend his mother’s honor…

77 The Heat Diva: NOT YOUR ORDINARY HEARTTHROB

Heroes have always been the heart of all romance novels . . . even if the hero is wearing leather pants and carrying a whip or happens to turn into a wolf. They may differ in looks, profession, or breed, but all have certain characteristics that not only make your blood pressure go up, but make your panties want to drop as well. I have gathered together some enticing examples…

101 The Scrying Eye: OF FUTURE, OF PASTS, OF CULTS, OF BLOOD, OF DARKNESS, AND OF MERCEDES!

It is time once again, dear denizens of the dead, those who seek wisdom in the pulpy pages of stories both great and small! It is time for the Scrying Eye to open, to speak to your minds, to reveal what was, what is, and what will be. See as it twirls and swirls! Gaze as its pupil swells, opening bright horizons…

121 Ali B. and the Forty Spaceships: GODS, MARTIANS, AND CIGAR-CHOMPING MONKEYS, OH MY! A New Column!

At the tail end of 2013, we were fortunate to have the World Fantasy Convention over here in the UK—we don’t have that many conventions in these ’ere parts, and thus each one tends to be a pretty special occasion, especially if I can attend, me being a domesticated family man an’ all that…

149 Forever Young: KEEP YOUR PANTS ON

“Keep your pants on!” It’s the one piece of advice from father to son that seems universal. From mother to daughter, there’s a similar adage: “Keep your legs together!” Simple. Direct. Parental guidance typically advocates restraint wrapped in a package of self-respect. Teens may listen, but they usually follow their hearts . . . 

Don’t miss our great serials and short stories:

43 Bill’s General Store by Myra Nour

Story based on a real event, but with author’s paranormal twist. 

The old man and his dog walked slowly along the road’s edge; the man was being watchful of strangers who might drive too close to them. He waved at neighbors passing by as he stolidly traversed the quarter mile home. Most days he walked it without much pain in his knees and few complaints, for he was glad he was still able to manage his walk every day…

97 Sex & the Single Woman by Nicole Morgan – the story continues

I tapped my fingers on the keyboard, but no words appeared on the screen. My focus wasn’t worth a damn and hadn’t been for several days. In fact, I’d been doing a heck of a lot more day dreaming than actual working all week long…

Join us for our exciting new venture into the glitz and glamour with BTS Goes Hollywood! A New Section!

BTS showcases writers and other professionals who bring characters to life through movies & TV.

163 BTS Goes Hollywood: THE LEGEND OF THE RED REAPER

When’s the last time you saw a movie with a tortured kick-ass heroine? I think the most noteworthy movies of late to feature those types of heroines have been young adult dystopian tales—The Hunger Games and Divergent. Spider-Man, Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America have all been the traditional male-dominated superhero flicks with female supporting characters…
